IMO the tablet version will probably be made for x86 processors, which is nothing like the ARM processor of the N900...
If this conversion is possible, it'd probably be quite difficult and maybe even incompatible.

If there is a problem, then it's a bug.

Of all the reading I have done on here I have yet to see in simple terms what MeeGo will do and how it changes everything? I can't seem to find any apps for MeeGo anywhere...In simple terms....What the hell is so good about it? Does it run Andriod apps? I have no idea why I would change my phone to run MeeGo.....any help would be appreciated. (bare in mind I know a little bit of techno speak but am not a IT specialist)
Just trying to be honest and upfront
Cheers

Admittedly the value is very technical and somewhat esoteric, but it's those esoteric and technical reasons that I bought my N900 and why I'm hoping MeeGo is successful. It's not for everyone at this point, certainly.

Thanks wmarone....a quick seach of MeeGo Apps brings up a whole heap of future on line Apps stores. I assume from your answer this is in anticipation of developers embracing the concept of the openess of the system to develop apps. I will certainly watch with interest. Thanks for your (understandable) reply.
